@@@@@“The facts, not your appraisals
“Appraisals @@@@@“The facts, not your appraisals “Appraisals often contain germane facts, ProfessorSurely you understand that “If I want to build a case, I’ll ask for opinionsWhat did the man find out?” “Based on what you told me, a lone woman with children—how many being undetermined— and on the data provided by an underpaid telephone company mechanic, namely, a narrowed-down location based on the area code and the first three digits of a number, the unethical sleaze went to work at an outrageous hourly rateTo my astonishment, he was productiveAs a matter of fact, with what’s left of my legal mind, we may form a quiet, unwritten partnership “Damn you, what did he learn?” “Well, as I say, his hourly rate was beyond belief, I mean it really invaded the corpus of my own well-deserved retainer, so I think we should discuss an adjustment, don’t you?” “Who the hell do you think you are?

Very well, I’ll tell why I dare, my arrogant old friendI’ve read you, seen you, expounding on your esoteric interpretations of complex legal matters, assaulting every decent thing the courts of this country have decreed in the last thirty years, when you haven’t the vaguest idea what it is to be poor, or hungry, or have an unwanted mass in your belly you neither anticipated nor can provide a life forYou’re the darling of the royalists, my unprofound fellow, and you’d force the average citizen to live in a nation where privacy is obsolete, free thought suspended by censorship, the rich get richer, and for the poorest among us the beginnings of potential life itself may well have to be abandoned in order to survive And you expound on these unoriginal, medieval concepts only to promote yourself as a brilliant maverick—of disasterDo you want me to go on, Doctor Gates? Frankly, I think you chose the wrong loser to contact for your dirty workdare you?” repeated the perplexed professor, sputtering as he regally strode to the window“I don’t have to listen to this!” “No, you certainly don’t, RandyBut when I was an associate at the law school and you were one of my kids—one of the best but not the brightest—you damn well had to listenSo I suggest you listen now “What the hell do you want?” roared Gates, turning away from the window “It’s what you want, isn’t it?
